----------------------------------+--------------------------
 Using /usr/bin/env bash instead of /bin/bash in the shebang line of the
 start script improves portability to some Unix-derivates (e.g. BSDs where
 the bash is usually in /usr/local/bin/bash).
 However, there are also systems where env is not in /usr/bin/env but in
 /bin/env, so its a tradeoff.

 As I know, tor browser is not running on BSDs so far, but hopefully it
 will sooner or later and then the shebang will be an issue.

 Thanks, for your great work!
